Spring Break, Happy Easter!




Happy Spring!! It's been wonderful, warm and sunny here. We are at the end of spring break. The kids and I hung out M&T and Scott was off W-F. It was nice to be off, stay up late and sleep in. We went to Mammoth Cave in Ky on Wednesday. It's the biggest cave in the US. Not the longest. It was pretty cool. We all really enjoyed it. They have different tours of the caves to take. At one of the Q&A times, the ranger turned off all of the lights. WOW! Dark and little bats flying around. It was a fun day get away. We brought a picnic lunch to have there. It's a Nat'l Park so there were people there camping. Not sure as I would do that in Ky since they have poisonous snakes. We drove thru Elizabethtown Ky on the way back. Stopped in DQ=)
I picked up my new laptop-wireless on Thursday after a little jaunt with Hayley to Justice! The girls love that store. Anyway, my laptop is in the dr so I can look out the window, feel the breeze and hear the birds. I still need to sync it to our other computer downstairs. We've had fun w/ our new movie room in the basement. We bought a 58" Panasonic tv. We have our couches down there and it's full theater affect. Pretty cool.
Ball for all is under way. Busy weeks. The kids are having fun now that's it's nice out and staying lighter later. Me too.
We are in bible study until June. Our study is alot of reading but the spiritual growth I've had this last few months is huge. I talk to, pray to God and it feels great. I've kept a journal and I can say I've had prayers answered. Or issues have had light shed on them. Makes me feel content. I guess this is a perfect day for that talk. I feel Him in my life everyday and I'm thankful. I'm so thankful HE has brought us to OH and the wonderful things/people, new experiences HE has enriched our lives with.
I'm not sure I'll be able to be at the barn anymore. I was having trouble w/ my allergies. Then I started problems w/ my asthma. I was using my inhaler too much for the time I was there. Finally, after one Saturday, my attacks wouldn't stop and I went on like that for a week. I had to go to the dr for a steroid to make them stop. She told me I couldn't but I heard 'shouldn't' go there anymore. I could go back on Advair (took it when we had cats) but it's not worth it to be on meds everyday to go up there once a week. So I haven't gone. I can tell now how sick it made me going up there even before I had asthma issues. I've missed my horses. If I went, I can only stay outside which I'm not sure how much help that is. I can still go see them which is hard if they're not in the barn. I'm not walking out into a field of horses. I've seen what can happen. So, for now, see what happens and what works out.
Jenny & Chris across the street moved last week. Their son Mason was friends w/ Brent. She was my Twilight bud =) They moved to Indy so it's not too far away. We'll stay in touch and get the boys together and see Eclipse in June! The new people just drove in yesterday. I'm assuming the truck will be here tomorrow. They're from DC and looks like they have a daughter Maddy's age and a 3 yr old son. People around here come and go. Another family friend of ours from church is moving to CT. He's been tranfered to Manhatten but I think they want to live in CT. Can't say I blame them.
Well, I'm off for now.
